Derrik Matthew enjoyed his second hole-in-one on Saturday 10 August and no better place to have it than on the 4th hole! Congratulations Derrik! We have now had 3 members with holes-in-one at Southbroom within 3 weeks, that sure feels like a record!

The Presidents Trophies

The Presidents Trophies were played for on Saturday 3 August. Congratulations to Lesley Godley & Jill Webster on winning the Ladies Presidents Trophy. Lady President Irene Schanda presented all the prizes and spoiled the ladies with her signature baking and Mozart treats. It was a lovely afternoon. Sad to say goodbye to Jenny Westray who is moving to Cape Town. We know you will love being closer to your daughter Jen, but you will be missed at Southbroom!

All the winners!

Best wishes Jenny Westray

Course maintenance

A touch of course maintenance was underway this week removing the excess silt from the 8th hazard deposited by the excessive rain in April.

The next big tournament coming up is the 6th Mixed Classic in October.See invite below and don’t delay if you want to enter as the maximum field is 28 players! If you can’t make it this year but would like to be on the 2020 invite list, please hit the reply button and let us know.

Last week we showed how many golfers have a simple swing fault that is robbing them of 21 metres. They strike their tee shots with a slightly descending blow (just 5°) rather than a slightly ascending blow.

One of the characteristics of better players is a better swing, but it’s also often a faster swing speed. However, when we look at most of our better golfers, while they don’t strike the ball on the tee with a descending blow, they’re often “neutral”, so even for them, the distance they’re being robbed of is substantial.

Don’t let spin rob you

Book an assessment with us and let’s find your personal launch DNA: the perfect match of launch and spin for the ball speed you’re creating.

Between 2002 and 2012, the incidence of type-2 diabetes in children increased by 5% according to research done for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Further research indicates that we can expect to see an even faster acceleration by 2022.

You might think that golf isn’t a sport or activity that burns the most calories. You might think that there are more intense sports. But you’ll struggle to find a sport that gives a child so much.

We know golf is good for children

If you have a child or grandchild, then let’s get them started playing golf. We’ll make it fun and enjoyable, social, and active. We want them to be healthier for their whole life. We want them to have those 5 years back. It’s time to do something.
